IMAGING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240259686 titled 'IMAGING APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation: This patent application describes an imaging apparatus with a control unit that can capture optical images and record video data. The control unit can thin out pixels in different modes and adjust the angle of view and thinning-out rate based on subject movement.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Imaging apparatus with a control unit for capturing optical images and recording video data.
- Thinning-out drive to reduce the number of pixels in the image.
- Different thinning-out rates in different modes.
- Adjustment of angle of view and thinning-out rate based on subject movement.
Potential Applications: This technology can be used in surveillance systems, sports cameras, and other video recording devices where capturing moving subjects is important.
Problems Solved: This technology addresses the challenge of efficiently capturing and recording video data while adjusting for subject movement.
Benefits:
- Improved video quality with optimized pixel thinning.
- Enhanced ability to capture moving subjects.
- Efficient use of imaging resources.
Commercial Applications: Potential commercial applications include security cameras, action cameras, and video recording devices for sports events.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the thinning-out drive improve video recording quality? 2. What are the advantages of adjusting the angle of view and thinning-out rate based on subject movement?
Frequently Updated Research: There may be ongoing research in the field of imaging technology related to optimizing pixel thinning and subject tracking in video recording devices.
Original Abstract Submitted
an imaging apparatus has an imaging element that captures an optical image with a first angle of view, and a control unit that has a first mode and a second mode as a video imaging mode and records video data of a video based on the optical image. the control unit executes thinning-out drive to thin out a part of readout of the plurality of pixels in the first mode and the second mode, sets a second thinning-out rate in the thinning-out drive of the second mode to be lower than a first thinning-out rate of the thinning-out drive of the first mode, and changes the second angle of view of the recording region following movement of a subject in the recording region in the second mode, and changes the second thinning-out rate of the recording region with change in the second angle of view in the second mode.
